Al-Taymi’s Approach to the Grammatical Analysis of Qur’anic Verses in (Tuhfat Al-Mu’rib wa Turfat Al-Mughrib)

Abstract

This research aims to study the grammatical analysis of Qur’anic verses according to Al-Taymi in his book Tuhfat Al-Mu’rib wa Turfat Al-Mughrib, by observing the author’s mechanisms in the grammatical analysis of the verses, and then extrapolating the author’s general approach in analyzing these holy verses. The research includes a preface and an introduction about Al-Taymi and his book, and seven topics that include: Qur’anic verses in Tuhfat Al-Mu’rib wa Turfat Al-Mughrib, the difference between meaning and parsing, the structure of speech and its significance according to Al-Taymi, appreciation and interpretation, multiplicity of orientation and multiplicity of parsing, Qur’anic readings, and Qur’anic verses in light of other texts. The research concluded that Al-Taymi relied mainly on Qur’anic verses, as their number reached 231 verses. Three forms of the presence of Qur’anic verses were observed in the book, including what was mentioned mainly in the grammatical analysis. This pattern is often presented by the author with the phrase (I will mention a verse). The verses support an opinion are mentioned in the form of a counterpart, and this pattern is often rendered with the phrase (and similar to it) (and from it), and what was brought to deny the resemblance, and is often combined with the phrase (and not from it).
